Sabbath and the Common Good

Just as there are laws of physics by which the physical universe can be defined and understood, so the natural order has principles of relating which can be ignored but cannot be abrogated by humanity. Science and religion converge in testifying to the truth that the earth is a single house with an underlying interdependence. When this interdependence is ignored, the consequences are potentially calamitous. I have written this book to argue that care of creation is a non-negotiable responsibility for a person of faith, especially of the Christian faith, and that the Christian narrative offers a way forward in support of science. This book is witness to a hope that a different way, a path with appropriate limits that builds equity and community, equates to common and abundant wealth.
